Week 27: This Week You are The Size of...


...a head of cauliflower! Olivia now weighs almost 2 pounds and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, her brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Tiny rhythmic movements are likely a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her.
